1. NYX Mega Shine Lipgloss: The colors are great but I hate the smell! They smell awful! Yuck!
2. Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick: Again, the colors are great but they also smell horrible!
3. Rimmel Fix and Perfect Pro Primer: This primer does absolutely NOTHING for me. I was hoping this one would be better than the other one but I was wrong :(

I love all my makeup I dont have any regrets or any of them I have purchased some things and the payof was not what I expected like NARS orgasm so I use it as a highlighter on the face instead but thats it I think for me I dont mind spending the money if I think its worth it but I do my research on products b4 I but I tend to not jump on the bandwagon if I havent tried it for myself the key to buying those products are if they dont do what u hoped see what other use it could be great for just because it says blush doesnt mean u have to use it for that purpose if it doesnt work 4 u ! lemons into lemonade :-)

1.Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain- Uh there is nothing staining about this stuff. It fades sooooooooo fast, and my lips became extremely dry.

2.Maybeline Falsies-I feel this mascara is over hyped. It didn't much impress me.

3.Fit Me-Uh....didn't fit me.

4.Dream Liquid Foundation-This foundation didn't stay put for very long. After a few short hours it was melting off of my face.

5.Some cheap-ey shadow pallet from Ross-Lesson learned. Don't buy ANY makeup there lol

1. Maybelline's Dream Bouncy Blush-- there was hardly any color payoff and it wore off after about 4 hours.
2. Victoria Secret eyeshadows-- the colors I have are nice, but they just don't stay on and they also get in my eyes and on my contacts. Not pleasent. :/
3. Physicians Formula Blush in Rosy Glow-- now this is a nice product, but its just not my color. I'm very light skinned and the blush is way too pink for my coloring. It does well staying on though.
4. Hard Candy mascara-- the stuff is just a clumpy mess.
5. Etude House Miss Berry Berry eyeshadow palette-- I wanted a peachy/orange eyeshadow and so I just decided to buy a palette so I would have more eyeshadows to play with, but that was a mistake. The orange color is very subtle and bright at the same time. The other colors: white, peachy-pink, and the purple-brownish shade, don't seem to compliment any of the orange. Or compliment each other for that fact.  :/

1. ELF- all over color stick- It's supposed to be one of those one product multiple purpose deals and it fell very short! Wasn't extremely upset about it since it was only a dollar!

2. Hard Candy- lip gloss- It was complete crap! It smelled terrible and left chunks of glitter on my lips while managing to dry them out =[ had to throw it away!

3. Tarte- liquid gel eyeliner- This came with my Trueblood for Tarte eyeshadow palette and it just made my eyes BURN I had to throw away as well.

4. Loreal color one sweep eyeshadow- my mom got it for me because she thought the idea was "cool" lol It definitely did not do what it claimed to do and was a complete waste of 8$ luckily it wasn't my money haha

5- Wet N Wild foundation- It was cheap and new so I decided to try it out and it was crap. The color was orange rather than a beige and the quality was close to the 2$ spent.

I can't believe so many people hated Bare minerals! I just bought some from Ulta the other day and loved how it looked on my face. Now I am scared its going to break me out, guess I will just have to wait and see!

1. Anything Tarte! Ugh i hate their shadows, they are waaay too sheer.
2. Fiberwig mascara. What a waste of 20 bucks, Gave me no lenthening effect.
3. Tarina Tarantino Mascara. Way too dry.
4. All things CoverGirl. Gross.
5. LA COLORS EYESHADOW. One Word: Stinky

-Bare Essentials Prime time primer- this primer makes my make up roll off. Its weird.
And I love BE make up, but the prime time .. uh no
- cover girl falsies was a miss. I had to physically pull chunks of mascars off my eyelashes
- deslick setting spray made me absolutely more oilyer. Omg, it was scary

That's pretty much it

The red eyeshadow I bought from Manic Panic is my only biggest regret. I bought 2 singles of red and they're just terrible. The powder is so tightly packed and hard, I almost have to scratch it out to get anything on a brush.

Also, I was really disappointed with my Nyx jumbo eyeshadow pencils. I had heard so much hype I was really excited, but even when I applied them really lightly they smudged and creased like crazy.

Maybelline Falsies Mascara. I hated it. I had to use so much to make any difference to my lashes, and I hated how the brush had that bendy part to it. It made me very frustrated.

The new Voluminious Million Lashes False eyelash mascara. For the life of me the name just left my memory, but I saw Gwen Stefani on the displayer and I figured, why not? HORRIBLE. Clumpy, thick, and I took it back the next day.

Any of the Revlon Just Bitten stains. I'm not surprised they're getting bad reviews, they are totally drying and come off so fast. Bought because I didn't want to spend the $40 on the Benefit one and now wish I had.

Any of the ELF face products. They made me break out and dried out my skin.

Anything Revlon.

And I really wasn't a fan of the Essie color I just tried. It was a pretty pastel yellow in the bottle and dried to be a horrid mustard-y color. I had to take it off the same day I put it on.

1. Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadow - It creases like no other on me. I really don't understand the hype.
2. L'Oreal Color Burst Balm - What color? There is 0 pigmentation in these.
3. Clinique Mascara - gives me stys
4. Sephora brand eyeshadow - Again what color?
5. Sephora Candy Gloss - More like candy water.

I forgot to mention the Ulta eyeshadow singles. Buy two get one free didn't save these single eyeshadow colors. I had to scratch the surface with my nail in order to get any of the shadow to loosen up so I could use it!

And I just got the boi-ing concealer, (off ebay though for 11 dollars) and I wish I had seen the post on that before I bought it!

1. EOS Lip Balm - They do absolutely nothing for my lips. They just sit on top of my lips for 5 minutes then they wear off.

2. NARS Daphne, Strada and Tropic - These are the only 3 shadows I purchased from NARS, but they were all so chalky that they were impossible to work with.

3. Drug store foundations - I have yet to find a close enough match to my medium-olive tone

4. Revlon Stormy Pink Lipstick - While it's beautiful in the tube, this is the hardest lipstick ever, it was impossible to get opaque coverage and it highlighted every single little dry piece of skin on my lips.

5. Too Faced Exotic Color Intense Eye Shadow - These eyeshadows looked amazing, I swatched them in store and they were a beautiful, pigmented duochrome. I brought home Midnight Mist and it was chalky and sheer.

1. Revlon Falsies FLARE - I've used the waterproof one and it works great, but the flare one is yuck! I hate it!! it was like xpired or something.

2. Almay smart shade blush - I hate it because it caused horrible break outs on my skin, is too greasy, it doesn't have color and will tell the whole world how large your pores are!

3. revlon just bitten lipstain - it chapped my lips so bad, I guess that's why they put a greasy lip balm on the other side, but I didn't like the greasy feel of the balm, and wear them with another lipgloss = MISTAKE iit took me 2 days of exfoliating and treating lips with labello lip balm to hydrate them again.

4. e.l.f. lipgloss palette - the one that came out in christmas that had 5 "pretty" shades (Chicago, New York, Houston etc) it looked SO PRETTY! I bought one for me and 2 others as gifts. MY MISTAKE was not trying the glosses before I gave them away! I was so embarrased! the tubes looked petty, but there was no color in them! like NON AT ALL, oh boy, the girls I gifted the glosses too didn't say anything, but they don't wear the lipglosses, so I guess that speaks for my shitty gift :(

5. NYX doll eyes mascara - or something like that, I don't know how it does it, but it gathers all my eyelashes and form one horrible clumpy disgusting big fat lash... I mean, I have to give them credit for getting that result, it must be difficult to clump every lash!

I've learned to use makeup alley and beautylish before buying new products. However, I just ordered coastal scents prism palette and the 22 brush kit, as for what I am reading here, CS big palettes are not good, lets see how it goes, their package should be arriving soon

Maybelline Falsies Mascara -- I know that some people like the clumpy look, but personally that's not for me.

Maybelline Dream Mouse Blush -- I am sooo glad this was discontinued. It was like a shiny mess.

ANYTHING from Wet N' Wild -- I've never bought anything good from them. I always get pulled in by the cheap prices, but of course, I just get cheap results.

Either a Covergirl or Maybelline lip stick that was supposed to stay on 24 hours -- I honestly don't even remember the name of it, but it made my lips so dry, they looked chapped! I really hope it was discontinued.

LA Colors Eyeshadow trio -- No pigments at all.

1. Maybelline's Fit Me Foundation: The coloring was SUPER yellow and it just made me extra oily and it broke me out so badly. It was really heavy too. Terrible buy!

2. Rimmel's Day 2 Night Mascara: I have a love/hate relationship with this, but I do kind of regret buying it. I bought it because it's a dupe of MAC's Haute & Naughty...I think it's a total gimmick. It's a good consistency, however it takes a great deal of time to dry! And it's kind of messy!

3. OPI's I Lilly Love You Polish: I LOVE the color in the bottle, but the flakies are too big and rough. It's almost impossible to get a smooth application. Drove me insane.

4. Butter London's Disco Biscuit Polish: I bought this the other day, and I raved about it on the Butter London page....But after having a good stare at it on my fingers, I hate how gritty the polish looks on my fingers. I think it'll be a good toe polish, because I don't look at my toes so often and won't be bothered by the grittiness of the polish. I do like the polish okay, but I regret spending so much for it.

5. Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm in Rose: I love the color but I hate the smell of it! The product just smells repulsive and it's really greasy. For $7, I completely regret buying it.

1. Stila eyeshadows
I have a black palette from Stila, I'm not sure what sort of palette it is but the color payoff is terrible! There are also some lip colors that come with the palette that suckkkk. Chalky, terrible eyeshadow.

2. Wet N Wild concealer stick
Doesn't work, is VERY drying. I have no idea why I wanted to try $2 concealer.

3. Maybelline Fit Me foundation
It's not a terrible foundation, but it's not great either. It's average. The color selection is awesome and it blends well, but the coverage is very sheer. Doesn't really do much for me other than give me a dewy finish, which is kinda nice.

4. Maybelline Fit Me blush & bronzer
Crap! No pigmentation at all. Both the blush and bronzer have such poor pigments it's silly! The bronzer only comes in light shades, which is lame because they're supposed to offer a wide range of options for all skin tones.

5. CoverGirl lengthening mascara
I love LashBlast volume mascara, it's one of my favorites! But this doesn't really do much for me at all.

1. Covergirl eyeliners - I've tried a few and none of them were easy to apply, not to mention didn't have much pigmentation. And forget about trying to get it on your waterline.

2. Covergirl lip stains - Smell/taste weird and fade in about 10 minutes. I had to reapply it a ridiculous amount of times.

3. Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse eyeshadow - Colors are way too sparkly and shiny for the lids and make them feel greasy. They crease like crazy and smell funny too. Not to mention don't have almost any pigmentation at all.

4. Maybelline Eye Express Cream shadow sticks - Pretty much same experience as the mousse shadows. Same experience, in a stick form.

5. Maybelline eye shadow palettes - Absolutely no pigmentation at all! Even the black! Absolutely awful. Extremely dry and powdery too.
